The part I don't understand is, how would the scissor statements be made real?
E.g. The Russian scissor statement machine spits out a statement about a bakery refusing to make a cake for a gay couple.
What happens next? They somehow identify real people who fit the role and nudge them towards ordering a cake?
Or would everyone involved be paid actors?
Or real people who are bribed / coerced?
I know we're in fictional territory, I'm just curious about how this would work in the story's 'universe'. (And in real life, I guess, considering that some of it seemed dangerously plausible).
